Aroya has released its integration with the controller OpenSprinkler, empowering growers with data to guide their crop steering decisions while simultaneously simplifying one more aspect of cannabis cultivation.
"Enabling integrations with third-party systems solidifies Aroya's unrivaled position as the cannabis industry's most intuitive platform, providing growers with the control, flexibility, visibility, and data-driven insights to manage every stage of cultivation," said Aroya President Scott Campbell.
Until now, implementing controllers for drip irrigation gave growers some control over their irrigation strategy, but with limitations. Now, growers have the ability to gain new insights by viewing their irrigation data in the same software as their climate and substrate data. It's estimated that roughly 30-40% of cultivators currently use OpenSprinkler for their drip irrigation.
"It made sense for us to take just one more small step, not to become a controls company, but to offer an integration with a controlled system that people commonly use in the cannabis industry. Now cultivators can have much better control and take those insights that they get from looking at their data and put it right to what changes they're going to make, which is their irrigation strategy, without having to leave the platform," says Campbell.
The new integration also eliminates the need to log into additional programs or tabs across separate spreadsheets like those in Excel, a pain point that this new feature solves, reducing complexity while bringing more visibility to commercial cultivation.
